Fiddle to Sam Jones.
When Sam Small got up to speak at
the l0:30 o'clock service i'll the pavilion
at the Red Rock camp meeting yester-
dav he made few Introductory remarks
that created more or less talk for the
balance of the day among the brethren
and sisters. Said he: "'There are a good
many reports going round these grounds
about the failure of Sam Jones to get
here for the opening of this meeting. L
Just want to say that he has been de-
tanned somewhere by unavoidable rea-
sons. sam Jones never misses an en-
gagement if Providence permits him TO
be around. When he comes he will
give YOU his reason and give it to you
straight On all the printed programmes
and advertisements of this meeting L
fail to see the name of Sam Small.

Mr.. Small then read Ezekiel Xiv, %:
And they shall teach my people the
difference between the holy and pro-
fame, and cause them to discern between
clean and unclean."
There are great many notions, he
said, about preaching these days. Every
one has got a standard for every
preacher. They measure his power and
influence by that measure. Now
PASTE THIS IN YOUR HAT.
I'm not theological seminary. have
never been Incorporated as such. do
not propose to lay down rules to govern
the clergy When | get elected to Il
chair in some seminary it'll be my duty
to study over these things, and I'll do it.
You often 90 to church as to show, to
hear Patti sing, or Bernhardt play trag-
edy. Don't you know God has a con-
tempt for such preaching. There are
fit the world instead of trying to make
false prophet, a humbug, poltroon and
a liar who attempts to mold the word or
God to the ways of this world.
The trouble with many of our people
Is that all their Christianity is lodged i'll
their mouth. They have caught up
few camp-meeting phrases and, like
the fellow who has been in the army
week, talk like old veterans. Why, |
have noticed this even in our friends
the reporters. Why, an idiot in a luna
tic asylum would know better that to
attribute the stuff they DO. to us some
times. The trouble with them is they
haven't prayed over their work. They
make me and Sam Jones say some Of
the mOStridiculOuS things ever breathed
by man. Some of their reports appear
as though struck by forty earthquakes
at one time"
